er, the Russians are dumping a tremendous load of diamonds to raise money that does amount to a whole lot in the big scheme of things.

oil prices are destroying them.

where are they getting the bucks to do all this and sustain an invasion that analysts say they can continue for only a year financially?

can arms sales make up that much of the difference?

I’ve been asking myself the same question. How can they afford all this? Even before the sanctions and the collapse of energy prices, I was curious about it.

All military operations are sales brochures for their hardware.
